Mayor Hewitt,s Proposition.

The statement is made that Mayor How
lit, of New York, has offered to turn over
to the employees of the Trenton, N. j., iron
works, the entire plant and business of that
establishment, to be conducted by them ON
the cooperative plan, upon certain condi-
tions. The principal condition is that the
firm which owns the works, and of which
Mr.. Hewitt is the principal member, shall
receive 8 per cent. per annum on the capital
invested in them.
Does this offer of Mr. Hewitt mean that
he is anxious to assist in solving the labor
problem and wants to help workingmen to
better their condition, or does he hope to
get better return on his investment than
he is getting at present? If the latter, he is
not entitled to any praise, and if the former,
his proposition simply indicates that he is
still the same sharp, shrewd business man
that he has always shown himself to be-
The Trenton works are very large, and
the time was when they yielded a large
revenue. There are reasons for thinking,
however, that they are not now very profit
able. The Secretary of the works, IN an in
terview lately, said that they had not paid
ltl ScNSl pei Ctttb. Ol bf1b
capital invested in them. If that statement
is true it is not to be wondered at that. Mr.
Hewitt wants to turn them over to his work
people with the assurance that he shall have
per cent.
The fact is, Trenton, N. j., is altogether
too far removed from the coal and iron
fields to be profitable in these times of fierce
competition in the business of manufactur-
ing iron. Such establishments as that of
Mr.. Hewitts cannot compete with similar
establishments at Birmingham, Chatta-
nooga and other iron-producing places in
the South. In fact, it cannot compete sue
cessfully with the Pennsylvania mills. 1t
seems, therefore, that rather than run his
works at a loss, or at very small profit, he
proposes a plan that will increase his in
come from his property, and which at the
same time will tend to give him the reputa-
ton of being the workingman's friend Mr..
Hewitt is good man and in many respects
a great one, but this proposition of his, from
all that is known about it at present, doesn't
stamp him as being exceedingly anxious to
promote the welfare of workingmen.

In your instructions to your patients,
be particular in giving minute directions
concerning diet. This has great effect ON
the minds of old women, especially, if
their maladies are in a great measure
imaginary. Give a list of what is to be
eaten at breakfast, dinner and supper,
and you may depend upon being made
the subject of conversation, and will be
considered very clever.
l brought myself into notice, and
gained several prominent families, by
recommending to a wealthy old lady the
left leg of a boiled fowl. Once when 1
was away on a short vacation, this old
lady took sick and was obliged to send
for a ~neighboring physician, who, by the
way, was really a well rcad man. On
his attempting to persuade her that the
left leg possessed no particular virtue, she
became quite indignant and uncompli-
mentary.-Western Medical Reporter.

The CRAZY
The Mental Disease which Amicts TIN
Russian Imperial Family.

The Mental Disease Which Amicts the
Russian Imperial Family.
In the recently published memoirs of
Count Vitzthum, of Eckstadt, proofs are
given of the hereditary character of the
mental disease which afflicted the imperial
family of Russia. All the sons of Car
Paul l, like that unhappy monarch him
self, who was murdered in 1901, became
subject to fits of insanity. Paul had four
sons-CZar Alexander ], the Grand Duke
Constantine, Car Nicholas 1 and the
Grand Duke Michael. Every one of them
after his 4jth year exhibited u%ndoubted
signs of mental arrangement. This was
not fully discovered in the case of Mich
olas | until after the cars death.
An English physician, however, the
count says, noticed the appearance of the
hereditary disease in the car as early as
July, 1858, and he then predicted that
the monarch bad not more than two years
Of life before him. This he stated in a
letter to Lord Palmerston. The Emperor
Nicholas died in March, 1855, about four
months earlier han the date predicted.
The appears to nave no doubt that
the Crimean war, SO far as it depended
on Nicholas, was the rash act of a ruler
whose mental equipoise was disturbed"
None of the four sons of Paul 1 lived to
be GO years of age, and every one of them
suffered from congestion of the brain
after reaching his 10th year. Alexander
died at 4S, a miserable man, moody and
respondent, as Prince Metternich has
painted him, 'tired of existence"
His brother, the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, though not manifestly insane, gave
frequent signs of mental disturbance, of
which he was himself so plainly con-
scious that he did not think himself fit to
be trusted with the reins of government.
His conduct in the year 1850, at the out
break of the revolution in Warsaw. will
remain to prove his mental u~nsoundness.
He had to be intrusted to the care of his
wife, the Princess Lowicz, who was eau
toned in the same way as is a physician
in charge of Il patient having intermit-
tent fits of insanity. He died in his sgd
year from congestion of the brain. The
Grand Duke Michael was killed by q fall
from his horse at the age of 4S. Some
years before his death he had exhibited
signs of undoubted mental disease, and
his physicians declared that he was ON
the road to certain insanity.
The events of 1852 were not calcu-
lated to allay the hereditary dispositions
of the imperial family of Russia. but to
excite and intensity them. There is some
thing terrible in the contrast between the
outward position of the Gar Nicholas,
upon the bent of whose will the fate of
SO many millions in Europe was depend
ing, and the alleged diseased inward con-
dition of his mind.-London Society.

Mr.. w. j. Hammond, engineer and
general manager of the Western Sac
Paulo railway company, Brazil, bears
pleasant witness to the virtues of coffee
and strongly denounces the use of adul-
terants. Many people will be able to in
dorse his high opinion of the value of
''strong, pure, black coffee as a stimu-
liant when the body is run down through
physical labor" but his assertion that,
beyond this stimulating power, coffee has
great dIsinfecting properties and is used
by many who have to travel through
miasmatic districts as a preventive against
fCyers will be new to many.
He states that the Rev. Father Kene-
lam Vaughan, who but q few years back
made a journey by land from Panama
down to the River Plate, passing in and
among and over the Andes during q
space of three years, used coffee alone as
q stimulant, although he had once to run
the gauntlet through a long, rock bound
valley in Colombia in which the water
remained stagnant year after year, and
the narrowness of the gorge prevented
sufficient sunlight and heat from entering
to dispel tho vapors. When asked what
he took in this horrible place, called by
the natives by the significant name of
Valley of Death, he replied: ''Why cof-
fee, Of Counsel The same gentleman
also reports that since the natives in the
residential districts near Guayaquil, in
Ecuador, have substituted coffee for theig
former beverages the death rate has
fallen very STANDARDIZATION Knowl-

The wardrobe of the late king of Ba-
varia has been sold at Munich, and the
proceeds are to be applied toward the pay
ment of his debts. The St. James' Ga
zette alludes to this transaction as u fol-
lowing of the precedent set in England.
when George " died, but this is an en-
tire mistake, for his wardrobe became
the perquisite of his pages, and it was
sold by them for their own exclusive
benefit. This was a monstrous job, as
the wardrobe fetched an immense sum,
and the public, who originally paid for it,
ought to have obtained the proceeds.

In preparing salmon for canning Tie
fish are dressed of fins, head and entrails
at the rate of 1000 to 1000 a day by
each n They go through three wash
ings and cleanings, and are cut by n ma
chine into lengths just the height of a
can. These pieces are each sliced length
wise into several pieces. The men who
do the filling, press the pieces as com
pactly into the cans as possible; a Chi
nese will fill 1000 cans in a day. The
filled cans are then taken to the washing
machine, where they are rapidly re-
volved under a spray of warm water and
are rubbed with a sponge at the same
time, after which they are wiped dry
with pieces of netting.
In the crimper the edge of the cover is
crimped and the cans then roll across a
brick soldering furnace, the end passing
through a trough of melted solder. This
machine and furnace will dispose of
20, 900 n a day and over. The COM
pleteness of the operation is tested by ex-
animation and immersion in hot water,
and, if no further soldering is necessary,
the cans are immersed again for an hour
and twenty minutes in a caldron of boil
ing water, after which they are again
tested by being tapped on the top by a
small wooden maliet, i~mperfections being
indicated by the sound. The good ones
are punctured to let the hot air escape
and are Immediately sealed up again.
The cans are now rolled on a track into
al iron retort and cooked by steam for an
hour and fifteen minutes. They are next
plunged into a a of hot I've, to remove
every particle of grease, and are i'm
mersed in a tank of cold water until they
are perfectly cool. The final testing is
made by two men who both tap each can
with a large steel nail, their trained ears
detecting any wrong sound. Food canned
with all this care is in no way unfit for
eating.-Good Housekeeping.

A Marvel.

Probably no business house in st.
Paul has jumped into popularity with
such electrical suddenness as that of
E. Allen & Co., whose spacious sales
rooms are situated at No. so East Third
street. Even such a rainy, dismal day
as yesterday did not seem to damDen
the ardor of the legion of ladies who
thronged their store on opening day.
The members of this firm are E. Allen,
B. j. Eddles0n and A. LevinsOn, all
gentlemen OF large experience in the
dry goods business. Each has his
special department, and during the
short stay of GLOBE scribe
it was apparent that they
left no stone unturned in their endeav-
OrS to please and convice the busy
throng of shoppers that they were pro-
curing the best goods at moderate cost.
This firm has started out on the right
track and they will win unqualified sue
cess. They have procured one of the
best store rooms on Third street, have
fitted it up in the best manner for ele-
gance, convenience and for doing bust
ness in rapid manner. Their stock is
of the best, the prices the lowest con-
sistent with honest goods, and they
have told everybody of these facts
through judicious advertising, and
what is the result? They have
stepped into a business of
large proportions at once.
The first floor of this establishment is
given up to dress goods, domestics, no
tons, hosiery, underwear and laces, the
floor above to cloaks, upholstery, blan-
kets, ETC., the third floor being used for
duplicate stock A full corps of polite
clerks are in attendance, and every Gus
toner leaves pleased with the treatment
received. A speciality of this house
will be special sales every week, and
ladies will do well to keep a close watch
of the papers and note the many bar
gains advertised.
